IndexingRefers to Two Linked but Separate Processes
The term Indexing
as used in Filr can become a bit confusing. There are two types of indexing that are handled by the Filr Search appliance:
Metadata Indexing: For files, folder, users, and groups to be visible and accessible in Filr, their associated metadata must be transferred to the Filr system and processed or indexed. The process of making objects visible in Filr is described in Section 14.1, How Filr Makes Files and Folders Visible to Users and Section 16.3, How Filr Makes LDAP Users and Groups Visible.
Content Indexing: Only after file metadata has been indexed can Filr begin processing the words in files for searchability. For details about this process, see Section 7.4, About File-Content Searchability and Section 13.3, Net Folder File Content Indexing Overview.
